POPE:Can we m.Hp that one of the conditions of the PRD? Mr. Jennings, would you be willing to
allow us to number these lots on exhibit 11? Just for
convenience let's call the lot where units t,1 and s2 are, lei's call that unit #1 or lot 91.
JENNINGS: We can. We have been through this two or three ways, and we finally decided this
was the simplest. If you disagree, then we'll number it differently.
POPE: Well, my feeling is that the commissioners may be desirous of imposing some kind of
conditions on these lots, and it is handy to have something to refer to them by, either a letter or
a numerical designation.
JENNINGS: Okay.
POPE: If you prefer, we can start with A and go through the alphabet.
BECKHAM: The reason we didn't do that was because the county tax, the computerized system, the
tax records does not accept alphabetical letters. It was awkward. We talked about this earlier as
to how to identify these. We will have to use numbers. Maybe we could start with 100, 200, 300.
POPE: Well, let's see if there are any desires by any of the commissioners to impose any
restrictions on any of these lots. Maybe it's not necessary to do that then.
Mr. Jennings, do you understand that the district highway engineer must approve the streets and
roads shown on the plat, and any approval by the commissioners will be subject to that?
JENNINGS: Yes.
—
POPE: And do you understand that the plans for the water and sewer systems, or septic systems,
must have the approval of the division of health services of Iredell County Department of Health?
JENNINGS: Yes.
POPE: And any approval by the commissioners will be subject to that.
And likewise you understand that we do have in effect an ordinance requiring a certain amount of
liability insurance per unit. That ordinance is under consideration now for possible amendment, but
do you understand that it may not be amended? And should it not be amended, you will have to comply
with it as it presently exists.
JENNINGS: What I would like (not clear, changing to Tape #2) . single-family nature of the
community, I would like to not have, not to have to go through that procedure. First of all, I'm
not sure I can get the insurance. But what I would like to do is in deeding the land to each
homeowner, allow them to have all the rights to that piece of property, including providing their
own liability insurance, if I can.
POPE: Looking at the ordinance now, I'm trying to determine whether that's possible or not.
It seems to me that the county is going to either live with the ordinance it has or amend it, and in
either case you will have to live with whatever the law is.
JENNINGS: Okay. The liability, under 87.2(1) "Liability insurance shall be at a minimum
coverage of $10,000 per unit maintained on any parts of any sewage disposal or water supply system."
We will have individual septic tanks, I don't know that liability insurance will come into play
there.
HEDRICK: Water supply. I think that the way it has been interpreted, if it was a community
water system.
JENNINGS: So if a public utility took care of the water supply, they would have to provide
liability insurance up to $200,000
POPE: $210,000.
JENNINGS: $210,000 on the water system?
HEDRICK: That's the way it was drawn up, you know, but we're
POPE: I would imagine that any public utility would have at least $200,000 worth of liability
insurance.
JENNINGS: Okay.
POPE: You conferred with the superintendent of the schools and he found the plan acceptable?
JENNINGS: Yes, he did. I have a letter.
POPE: Do you have it with you.
JENNINGS: It's in the car.
POPE: That would be c letter from Dr. Williams, the county school superintendent?
HEDRICK: Franklin Ivey, assistant.
